The pull of nostalgia is always, to me, amusing. Long ago and far away . . . everything was great . . . .and people did things for all the right reasons . . . . everyone was kind and benevolent . . . and nobody did the sort of stuff they do today . . . all the players loved the game . . .hell they would have been happy to play for free ....

There are stories in the Bible of people selling what could considered "collectibles" to other people. Go to your local history museum and learn about ancient Egypt and Greece . . . people made stuff and people collected stuff. . . . and people paid "big sheckles" for people to make them cool stuff.

And some guy in 1300 BC was saying "you are going to pay WHAT for that gold vase?? Are you nuts????"
